Cook time: 00:10
Total time: 00:20

Yield: 16 Servings

Ingredients:
2 cups masa harina
1 3/4 cups to 2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
* CLICK TO SEE FULL INGREDIENTS *




Instructions:

Mix together masa harina, water and salt to create a dough. Roll the dough into 16 little balls. Heat a large skillet, griddle or comal over medium-high heat.

Lightly flatten a masa ball in between two sheets of plastic wrap using a tortilla press or a flat plan. Make sure not to press it down too much as it will become too thin like a normal corn tortilla. You want it about twice as thick as a normal tortilla.

Remove the flattened masa from the plastic wrap and place it on the hot griddle. Let it cook for about 10 to 15 seconds, flip it over and let that side cook for another 10 to 15 seconds.
